Rubrics explain and define the parameters of assessment instructors will use to review and determine the quality of an assignment. Through rubrics, students are informed of teacher expectations and requirements. Often, grades are determined by rubric scores.

Using rubrics benefits students and teachers, and promotes higher quality learning. Teachers are able to communicate expectations to students, who are better able to understand assignments and perceive their role in learning. Rubrics help teachers to scaffold students safely, providing guidelines which clarify the learning process.

Holistic rubrics includes all criteria within a single scale.  A single score is assigned based upon the whole, entire work.  Analytic rubrics provide multiple scales of scoring various criteria, assigning several scores in response.

Both types of rubrics provide one overall score, or grade. However, the varied criteria examined by an Analytic Rubric offers a more authentic assessment. Students are capable of offering greater input into their assessment.
